Fix For: conntrack: error while loading shared libraries: libnetfilter_conntrack.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Marcus Aurelius]

hello,
    I installed conntrack with the steps below along with a custom
build of the 2.6.14.2 kernel and had the error above when I type:
conntrack
    I was only able to resolve the error by doing:
 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libnfnetlink.so.0 /lib/libnfnetlink.so.0
 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libnetfilter_conntrack.so.1
/lib/libnetfilter_conntrack.so.1

 is the conntrack-0.99 Makefile the entry libdir = ${exec_prefix}/lib
seemed ok, so I don't know why conntrack would not see /usr/local/lib,
any ideas?

 regards,
 Jai Ragoo
